Believe In The Magic

Good Sunday morning all!  Here is a really quick and easy Christmas card to make, but with a real wow factor, don't you think?  I started with a piece of coconut white card and embossed it with the new Diamond Poinsettia embossing folder.  Next I covered a small piece of red card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing off and coated it with Ruby Slippers Holographic Glitterbitz.  I used the Classic Poinsettia die and cut three different sized flowers from it.  I assembled the flowers and attached them to the corner of the card in a cluster.  I used Evergreen Branches cut in white to accent them.  Next I cut the Believe die/stamp combo.  I cut it out of both ruby red and black card and shadowed it.  I glued it to the upper corner of the card, then stamped the matching sentiment and cut it out.  I added the sentiment with foam below the word die.  The card was completed with white, red and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are
6 3/4"  x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue,
I always think of the Wizard of Oz when I see this glitterbitz.
However, Christmas isn't Christmas without poinsettias and these look beautiful.
Take care. Hugs xxx Pauline

Hi Sue, I love this beautiful CAS card, very much my style and the ruby glitterbitz is stunning. I usually use Glitter Kiss on my Christmas poinsettias but I think I will have to invest in some of the bitz for a change.
